Minimum degree stability of H-free graphs

<p>Given an (r + 1)-chromatic graph H, the fundamental edge stability result of Erdős and Simonovits says that all n-vertex H-free graphs have at most (1 &minus; 1/r + o(1))( n 2 ) edges, and any H-free graph with that many edges can be made r-partite by deleting o(n 2 ) edges. Here we con...

description <p>Given an (r + 1)-chromatic graph H, the fundamental edge stability result of Erdős and Simonovits says that all n-vertex H-free graphs have at most (1 &minus; 1/r + o(1))( n 2 ) edges, and any H-free graph with that many edges can be made r-partite by deleting o(n 2 ) edges. Here we consider a natural variant of this &ndash; the minimum degree stability of H-free graphs. In particular, what is the least c such that any n-vertex H-free graph with minimum degree greater than cn can be made r-partite by deleting o(n 2 ) edges? We determine this least value for all 3- chromatic H and for very many non-3-colourable H (all those in which one is commonly interested) as well as bounding it for the remainder. This extends the Andr&aacute;sfai-Erdős-S&oacute;s theorem and work of Alon and Sudakov</p>
